      The split — and the strife it often generates — is palpable at most universities, and speaks directly to the heart of American schools, in particular

      I think as an English/Creative Writing major, I've noticed how most schools seem to be more focused on sciences, and that's why it was hard trying to find a school that at least has a liberal arts department. Most of the schools I looked into before deciding to come to CU Denver were mostly revolving around medical and computer science. There wasn't much to be said about the English departments. This is how I became a bit stressed thinking about this in terms of me finding a job in humanities. Will it be the same struggle I had to deal with like when I was looking for what school to study at?

      new educational initiatives to help youths and adults learn how to use those tools effectively

      I think because we have access to internet, it helps build our learning ecology. Children and adults are able to learn things that seem hard to reach, but is actually accessible through the internet.

      new media environments

      I think because of these new media environments, the young generations are able to fulfill a lot of things. They are given many different opportunities to apply to their real life experiences.

      One-third of teens share what they create online with others

      I consider myself in this 22 percent, because ever since I was in fifth grade I posted stories I wrote to share online.

      ideo game designer.”

      My cousin actually went to AI for this field, and the fact a kid like him is doing what she did, while she is older, is really cool.

      “I think if ... if they did have this kind of project in school, it would probably keep a lot of children out of trouble from going into the street and trying to fi nd some-thing bad to do. All they have in school is just work, do your homework and recess time. Sometimes I think that during recess they should, you know, the kids that are interested in doing this, give them reasons ... if they want to do something in the computer, let them go do it instead of wasting their time outside fi ghting and arguing like other little kids. They don’t let them go into the computer only when he’s in class. I don’t think they ... they don’t let them use the computers to do fun projects

      I completely agree with Luis' mother in her statement. It is a good way to steer kids away from negative activities, and instead work on what they love to do. It keeps them from the temptation of doing something bad.

      we’ll support in every which way like I do with my little girl. But, um ... he needs to know that he needs to keep doing what he needs to do in school and then in the computer clubhouse he needs to do what he needs to d

      it's great that his parents are supportive of him with his interest, but also how they also remind him to balance his interest with the importance of school work.

      Luis noticed the video camera equipment in the space and, using his existing knowledge and interest from working with his brother, set out to make live action movies with his friends, “I just asked [the clubhouse coordinators] what it was and they old me and it was for taping and stuff, so I just started running around taping my friends, trying to do scenes and stuff....” The clubhouse was equipped with Intel Digital Blue cameras and although the clubhouse coordinators had taken a work-shop on how to use them, they were not experts in this fi eld. The camera set, which could be used to shoot both video and still images and came with its own editing and special effects software, became Luis’s main tool for creating. He returned to the cameras again and again, experimenting with different methods

      Reading about a young boy like him being able to do this is simply amazing. This only started because of his brother showing him how to shoot videos with the camera, now he has the potential to become a director.

      Youth who lived in the community served by the Simmons Computer Clubhouse, on average, had much less access to computing tools at home than their Silicon Valley neighbors whose parents worked in the technology industry (Barron et al., 2009 ) . The goal of the clubhouse study was to better understand how this intention-ally designed space provided opportunities for learning

      This is good to bring up because even a youth who grew up with not much access to technology at home can still have a chance to create and learn.

      Luis, a skinny dark-haired 13-year-old boy, sits at a computer station in the back corner of the room with a set of plastic action fi gures from the X-men comic series, a basket of play dough, and an Intel Digital Blue stop-animation camera. He is producing his latest movie

      This really blows my mind. The fact that kids in this generation at such young ages are able to do this only because of the continuously improving technology they have access to.
